About me
No current availability.
Psychotherapy can be a broad term - I offer first and foremost a safe space for you to be yourself, without judgment and with compassion, where we can begin to unravel some of your feelings. We don't get the chance very often to really think about how we are doing, even though we might ask each other several times a day. How many times do we respond other than the "Fine, thanks! You?"
Therapy is a place for me to ask "How are you?" and for you to really think about the answer.
I offer talking therapy, with a psychodynamic focus – this is the understanding that our actions in the present can be based on unconscious processes, often formed in our early childhood.
As well as talking therapy, if you feel stuck with words, or just tired of talking, we can use more creative methods to gently explore your emotions.
Creative psychotherapy means we can work with talking therapy in our sessions and also use art work, play, stories and movement.
Dramatherapy is a specialist branch of psychotherapy, which involves the use of working with elements like story, breathwork, movement and metaphor. It is a discipline which is deeply rooted in anthropological, psychological and psychotherapeutic principles and practices.
It's also a title which is regulated by the HCPC, which means that there are several conditions which must be fulfilled before you can call yourself a Dramatherapist - completing two years of personal therapy, a Master's Degree from an approved institution and undergoing a minimum of 100 sessions of clinical placements.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
